Looks nice, but it breaks my heart/wallet that it's carded and not loose, even though that's pretty much what I expected. You know what this means? I need two of 'em.

'Cause unlike the previous Fett and Luke (aside from the hair), we already had those same figures loose, so a carded version wasn't a big deal. Not the case with this R2 though...
So I'll need to track down a nice carded one first, and then see if I can find a good deal for a loose one later on down the line... I see Adam's already hard at work on getting his!

I'll be monitoring the situation closely.
So, I assume no other news from the show, eh Simon? Nothing on Series 3?

Oh well, guess we can wait a bit longer for the news, and let R2 enjoy the spotlight for a while!
Could be Adam. If they do come out with a Droid series, they can go far with it...

I may havae missed some. 
Not to mention the Ewoks line! 
Woah, woah, woah... Slow your roll there big guy! Let's not get too carried away here D!

Very few people would want to see a Droids or Ewoks line of Kubricks before we get a WHOLE LOT more of the regular figures from the movies!
This R2 was cool, and I suppose I could even stomach a matching C-3PO if I had to, but I sure as heck wouldn't want them going any further than that! Just like the 4" line - I'd much rather get some new figures from the movies, rather than the various EU lines.
The race is on! Though there's clearly a frontrunner this time 'round... Go get it, Mr. President!

(that doesn't count our resident Aussie, of course, who sounds like he's already snagged R2

)
